ALPS touchpad woes with 2.6.12rc1 and rc1-mm3

ALPS touchpad woes with 2.6.12rc1 and rc1-mm3

[Romano Giannetti]

Hi all,

   In the kernels 2.6.12-rc1 and 2.6.12-rc1-mm3 my ALPS touchpad is not 
   recognized by the Xorg driver. The strange thing is that in dmesg ALPS is
   detected, but then the Xorg driver tell strange things... 
   
   In dmesg:
   [4294673.596000]   Enabling hardware tapping
   [4294673.656000] input: PS/2 Mouse on isa0060/serio1
   [4294673.659000] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint on isa0060/serio1
   
   In Xorg.0.log: (conf file is: 
   http://www.dea.icai.upco.es/romano/linux/xorg.conf.txt ) 
   
   
   (**) |-->Input Device "alps"
   (**) |-->Input Device "mice"
   [..]
   (II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
   (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o
   (II) Module synaptics: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.2.0, module version = 1.0.0
        Module class: XFree86 XInput Driver
        ABI class: XFree86 XInput driver, version 0.3
   
   but after this: 
   
   (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.0
   (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
   
   (EE) alps no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
   (EE) alps Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
   (EE) PreInit failed for input device "alps"

   It worked ok in 2.6.11.
   
   All the configuration, dmesg, lsmod, Xorg.0.log is etc is here for -rc1:

   And here for -rc1-mm3: 

   http://www.dea.icai.upco.es/romano/linux/config-2.6.12-rc1/laptop-config.html

   Perfectly working similar data is in:

Could you please post your /proc/bus/input/devices from 2.6.12-rc1 to
make sure that you are using correct event device. If you have noticed
ALPS now registers 2 input devices. Btw, setting protocol to
"auto-dev" in your X config helps dealing with event devices moving
around.

This is /proc/bus/input/devices from  2.6.12-rc1-mm3. I changed the protocol
to auto-dev and commented out # Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" and now
it works. What apparently happened is that from 2.6.11 to .12-rc1 the event
device changed from event1 to event2. 

Thanks and sorry for the post. Compiling in serial console now, to try to
see what happens with swsusp... 

Thanks again and have a nice day,
